• wait for bus
• be nice let couple with baby and old people get on first
• some guy brushes between me and old guy...that´s odd but let´s get on bus so we don´t get separated
• WHOA THERES A FUCKING CRAZY OLD ENGLISH GUY COMING AT ME ACCUSING ME OF TRYING TO STEAL HIS WALLET
• it´s that dude that just whipped between us who tried to take your wallet old guy
• now crazy old guy is after the other guy
• crazy old guy back on bus apologizes
• wallet not taken
• everything´s okay again i buy Campers and clothes from Zara to compensate for the trauma

Hey they have this store here in Sweden called Ikea. Don't know if you heard about it. They make furniture out of cheap particle board that you - get this - essemble yourself. I think they may be on to something. Wonder if they're a chain or something...

Seeing as I don't live here either, I'm going to say 4 blocks that way and hang a left. Thought this would be the one vacation where i'm not approached for directions in a foriegn city. Apparently, I was wrong. There must be a tourist information sign branded to my forehead.

I've discovered the reason why tour books don't mention anything about the Paddinton Station area. It's because there's nothing to do there. Or at least nothing I could find in the few hours I had to hack around.

You'd think that growing up in an extended family that worked in the phone industry I'd know how to record a friggin out of office message. But then you'd be thinking wrong.

I'm embarassed to say I'm starting to like Battlestar Galactica. Although I'm impatiently still waiting for the episode when they get to the ice planet with Britt Eklund clones. Or the episode where Apollo has amnesia and has a wild west showdown with a cowboy cylon

You know, I've always wanted silver shoes to wear around the office.

Urinal - To see a urinal in your dream shows that conditions at home are not up to your usual standards and if you dream you are using it then you must search for enemies.
 
Now what if the dream also included trying to get to Disneyland but not really getting to Disneyland, just the slummy hotel in suburbs out side of Disneyland. Does that mean that the enemy I must search is a slummy hotel? The suburbs? Disneyland? Or maybe Walt himself?

first time travelling in grown up people clothing. Can't say it's very practical. Especially when there's a soaking wet city at the other end of the trip. Much rather be in bike courier attire.

Had all kinds of troubles posting for the last couple days. Getting the dreaded 001 java.net.ConnectException message. Tried everything, even got to the point of importing the blog into a Wordpress blog. Finally discovered that somehow Blogger reset my ftp connect behind my back to blogspot instead of my site.

It's the pick up system no girl can resist!. Yes 70s hipster doofuses, it's the audio version of How to Pick Up Girls on vinyl. Check out how to pick up groovy chicks with these classy samples of the The Street Pickup and the The Clothing Store Pickup. Looking for more? Amazon offers the updated version in paperback. Judging from the classic lines in the samples, it no doubt it expains how to get rohypnol into drinks.

As a side note, the author Eric Weber, is rumoured to have come up with the "Be a Pepper" campaign for Dr. Pepper which kind of kills the flavour.

Let's see. Didn't watch any of the movies nominated because none of them interested me. Only watching for Jon Stewart. Thank god no Whoopie or Robin Williams. My quick round take

• Reese - I've always hated you, Keira I hate you just as much
• Charlize has a pillow on her shoulder.
• Robert Altman - always felt you were over rated.
• Capote - wish this was a movie more about Capotes life than just the In Cold Blood stuff.
• Glad Hoffman won though
• Was Lauren Bacall drunk or just old?
• Clooney? Why do people like this guy so much?
• Reese - I hate you even more after your speech
• Terrance Howard - be thankful you didn't win because you've been saved from Snow Dogs 2 Electric Boogaloo
• All in all lack luster like every other Oscars - aka the celebration of mediocrity
